Question

Do as directed:
1)Who will solve this problem? (Change the voice)
2)Preeti said, “Ishita is working”. (Change the narration)
3)He intends to live here. (Rewrite sentence using ‘Gerund’)
4)Thinking good thought makes a good man. (pick out Noun phrase)
5)Her dog always (attack) strangers. (Put the verb in bracket into simple present)
6)I know this. You are right. (Combine the sentence using Noun clause)

Answer 1

Hint: There are specific grammar rules to be followed for each question. To change the voice, change the structure to object+verb+subject. To change narration, change the tense. A gerund is verb+ing. Noun phrases are the phrases that function as a noun themselves. In order to put a verb into a simple present tense, just look at the subject. Noun clauses are made by adding ‘that’ to a sentence.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Each of these sentences needs to be solved individually. Let’s look at them one by one:

1) To change the voice of an interrogative sentence, you will first need to identify the parts of speech in the sentence. The given sentence is in the active voice. To change it into a passive voice, we will need to reorder the subject, verb, and object. It will be in the order of object+verb+subject. The answer will, therefore, be, ‘By whom will this problem be solved?’.
2) In order to change a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech, you must remove the inverted commas, add ‘that’, and change the tense. In this case, the present tense will change into a simple past tense. So, the solution will be, ‘Preeti said that Ishita was working.’
3) Gerunds have the structure of verb+ing. They can also be used as a noun. So, we need to identify the verb that needs to be converted into a gerund. Gerunds follow a preposition. The two verbs are ‘intends’ and ‘live’. However only ‘live’ can be converted into a gerund and we build the sentence round it. In order to fit ‘living’ in the sentence, we will need to convert ‘intends’ into a noun. So, the answer will be, ‘He has intentions of living here.’
4) Noun phrases can be subjects, direct objects, and indirect objects. In the given sentence, the noun phrase is ‘Thinking good thought’, because of ‘thinking’ functions as a gerund.
5) Simple present tense has no helping verbs. It is a fairly simple tense to conjugate. So, the base word will be the same. Since the subject is singular, ‘her dog’, the verb will have an ’s’ at the end. So, the answer will be, ‘Her dog always attacks strangers.’
6) In order to link the two sentences with a noun clause, we will have to make it into a complex sentence. In order to do that, you can use the word ‘that’. So, the answer will be, ‘I know that you are right.’
